How To Read Channels

Discussion in 'Technical Analysis' started by elovemer, Dec 8, 2008.

  1. ... for me... just for me...
    .... if you refer to that last one....
    ... i would only consider it a valid channel on those four hits of that first day....
    .... when it stopped there 2 days later.... that just demonstrates that the market has memory.... just the trendline extended from that channel....
    .... but as far as the channel itself... i would consider it broken once it left the channel toward the end of the first day....
    ....maybe it was misleading for me to imply that the channel was still on for 3 days.... i only considered it unbroken during that first day....

    .... having said that... let's make clear that i am not an expert on channels.
    ....my hope is that others will contribute channels that they think are important....
    .... thereby i may see something i missed.... selfish isn't it ? :0)

    ....i don't know what channel trading is...

  4. Add Volume to your charts and sync your trend lines with Volume. I also recommend dropping the 'chanel tool' in favor of learning to annotate the trends by hand.

    ..... just want to make a collection jar here of channels.....
    ..... if i miss some channels..... then i know you are missing some as well....
